Solidatus: Data Lineage, Governance and AI-Assisted Metadata Management

The value of a lineage model depends on the relationships it represents. Solidatus’ governance material describes linking existing catalogues, dictionaries, asset inventories, risks and controls to standard taxonomies. People still define the policies and processes; the model gives them a common place to examine how those decisions relate to systems and data.[8]

Solidatus distinguishes an Integration from a Solution. An Integration is software that ingests metadata, lineage and transformation information through source-system APIs or files. A Solution adds configuration, consulting and implementation expertise around a more complex connection. This distinction matters for estates where extracting lineage requires discovery and interpretation as well as installing a connector.[2]

The OpenLineage integration combines evidence from runtime jobs with design-time or manually supplied lineage. Repeated events can be normalised rather than leaving separate graphs for every execution, and business ownership or policy information can be attached to the resulting model. Missing column-level information remains a source-coverage issue: a richer visual graph does not independently prove that a job emitted every required relationship.[4]

The AWS Marketplace listing provides a concrete public package price. It is a specific channel offer with a stated contract duration and user allocation; it should not be converted into an assumed standard monthly seat tariff for every Solidatus deployment.[18]

Solidatus’ integration catalogue distinguishes packaged connectors from more involved Solutions that combine software, configuration, consulting and implementation support. This is a material scope distinction for work involving complex legacy applications or governance integrations, where the services needed extend beyond a standard importer.[2]

For the 2026.3 release, Solidatus explicitly directs on-premises customers to the Operations Release Notes before planning an upgrade, and directs customers seeking BYOLLM or MCP access to their account or customer success manager. The public announcement therefore describes available capabilities together with an enablement route, rather than establishing that they are already switched on for every customer.[7]

The publicly linked marketplace Support Policy assigns a customer success manager and allows up to three designated customer contacts. Support is remote unless otherwise agreed. Its published response targets are subject to commercially reasonable efforts, and tickets submitted outside standard support hours are treated as opened the next business day. The document does not specify those hours or promise a resolution deadline.[19]

Solidatus is a software supplier for data governance, reporting and change analysis. References to BCBS 239, DORA and other frameworks describe supported use cases. Policy mappings and lineage records provide evidence for an institution’s control processes; they are not a financial-services permission or an assurance that all of that institution’s obligations have been met.[10]

The website privacy policy names Threadneedle Software Holdings Limited trading as Solidatus, but pairs that name with company number 07485799. Companies House identifies 07485799 as Threadneedle Software Limited and 11251238 as Threadneedle Software Holdings Limited, both active. The number/name mismatch is preserved here rather than silently assigning the operating-company number to the holding company. The published services agreement defines the contracting parties in the order.[12][16][17][19]

Solidatus 2026.3, announced on 6 July 2026, added MCP support to connect external AI assistants and agents with governed lineage context. The same release introduced persistent Assistant sessions, a Prompt Library and ChatRollup to carry relevant model context into continued work. Accepted model changes retain attribution and timestamps. These functions expand the ways users interact with lineage; customer review remains part of the published operating model.[7]

Two implementation distinctions are useful when reading the feature list. First, a catalogue connection and a complete lineage map are different deliverables: the depth of metadata obtained from a source affects the questions the model can answer. Second, a future-state model represents a planned configuration. It is useful for evaluating dependencies and migration options, but it does not itself execute the migration or demonstrate the deployed estate has changed.[3][9]
